Let's get one thing straight: we aren't friends. We are so much more.

Growing up, I always wanted a sister. I wanted someone to talk about boys with, swap clothes with, and tell secrets to. I found that when I met you. We were brought together under certain circumstances, but I like to pretend that no matter what, we would have found each other. Even though we are COMPLETE opposites, we somehow work. Even though we are different, we do have some of the same beliefs, like there is no such thing as going to Target too many times in a day, and that cats make the world go round.

Whether it be boys or bodily fluids, no topic has ever been off limits with us. I can give you a look and you'll know exactly what I'm thinking, and vice versa. We have our own jokes and sayings that no one else would understand. We call each other out when the other is being ridiculous (which is you most of the time). We tease and make fun of each other just like true siblings would. We also have had more than our fair share of disagreements and bickering. However, no matter what we fight about, we can never stay mad at each longer than a day… or week.

We’ve seen each other at our best and our worst. No matter what happens, through thick and thin, we will always be there for each other.

Some of my best experiences on this earth were with you. Some of my hardest laughs have been with you. I honestly couldn't imagine what my life would be without you in it. You play a large role in my life and who I am. Although we are not blood, you will forever be the closest thing I have ever had to a sister. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best non-biological sister I could ever ask for. I love you too much for words.
